new and useful Improvements in Paint-Oil;

and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri'tion of the invention, such as will enable ,ot ers skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to a new composition of matter for use as a paintoil or aint vehicle, and has for its object to rovide a substitute forthe lin. "l oil Whic is ordi narilyused for that purpose.

- In the manufacture of my composition I use the following ingredients,in substantially the, roportions given :parafiin oil, 2 gallons; ibssoil, 1 gallon; linseed foots, 1 gallon. The loss oil mentioned comprisesresin mixed with benzin (or a like thinner) and its function is toprovide-the size to the composition. a

By the term, foots I mean the dregs'or sediment which is left as aresidue in tanks where linseed oil has been drained or strained off.

sistency.

In compounding my ingredients I thin down the foots by dilutin gasoleneor benzin. After being thinned to the proper consistency the liquid isto be his oily and gummy'lin congolden or diamond with naphtha,

filtered in order to free it of dirt and other foreign articles. I thenprepare a mixture of para oil and gloss 011. Either extra paraffincontains enough paralfin (wax) to orm or of the resin contained in theloss oil. I then mix the thinned foots wit this mixture of parallin andgloss oil. No heating is necessary. When combined in theroportionsspecified above, the product wi be an oil having about the same drying'time as boiled linseed oil. A quicker drying product may be produced bylessening the propora gum with tionate quantities of the thinning agent,i. e. I

the benzin or gasolene; and slower drying product by increasing suchproportions.

My composition as described will be characterized by life and elasticitywhich are the desirable qualities for a paint vehicle.

Having thus described In invention, What I claim as new therein andesire to secure by Letters-Patent is A paint vehicle comprising amixture of thinned linseed foots, parafiin oil, and gloss oil, in theproportions of 1 gallon of the first, 2 gallonsof the second, and onegallon of the third.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
